LIVING TOWARDS A BEAUTIFUL DEATH

Gathering the Life We Have Lived, Preparing to Leave, and Becoming Whole at the Threshold

If we hope to leave consciously, what must we stop leaving behind while we are still alive?

This course explores mortality, conscious completion and the gathering of a life—the selves we have been, what remains unfinished, what can be repaired, what must be released, and what we want to prepare before the final embodied threshold.

A beautiful death is not necessarily peaceful, painless or perfectly resolved. It is the possibility of meeting death with as much presence, honesty, dignity and wholeness as our circumstances allow.

We do not gather ourselves because death is near.
We gather ourselves because life is here.
